About the Creator!

Glenda K. Harrison

From the runway to your personal
closet, be it advice on the proper attire, or suggestions on how to live life
to the fullest, readers throughout the world are being inspired by Glenda K. Harrison, author,
freelance style contributor, and the creator of the fashion and lifestyle
blog, So What to Twenty. The name, So What to Twenty,
came about when Harrison decided she wanted to give a voice, and demonstrate
the vibrancy in women over the age of twenty - an age which seems to be the
coveted within the fashion industry. Harrison, a graduate from the prestigious
Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, California, grew-up
knowing fashion would one day have a special place in her life.

The death of her mother spurred Harrison in 2008 to launch A
Daughter's Heart, a cancer support service which partnered with hospitals to
provide love and support to women undergoing cancer treatments. After 8 years
of serving her community through A Daughter’s Heart, she was finally able to
bury her mother in her heart. She knew her mother would have wanted her to move
forward with her own life ambitions. She put aside that work to focus on her
lifelong dream of touching lives through her writing.

Although Harrison’s life had been met with many
painful life lessons, her love for fashion and style always remained steadfast
in her life. Now she encourages women to focus on the importance of self-love
and using one's God-given gifts and talents. Through her own lifestyle, and her blog, So What to Twenty,
Harrison inspires readers to view fashion as an all-encompassing vehicle, and encourages women to seek an integrated life, and to nurture the entire woman: Spirit, Mind, Body, and Wardrobe.

Hey Glenda! Just found you at Visible Monday. So glad I did. I'm guessing you live someplace warm, based on the backgrounds, and I'm ALWAYS looking for great hot weather style, especially. I'm in Atlanta now but by nature I'm a cold weather girl so I struggle with creative outfits during the warmer times. I'm guessing warm or cold, you always look good. :-)

Hi Jean! Yes, I live in Southern Cal. It's sometimes difficult to blog in the season because the weather stays warm 70% of the time. Sometimes I have worn an outfit specifically for the blog and will have to change out of it right away because the temperature is too hot for it. I absolutely love warm weather. California is the perfect place for me. I have this strange quirk about having my feet covered up. In most of my post you'll see that I'm wearing sandals :)

Glenda! I read this before, but not closely -- I graduated from Otis Fashion in 87!We probably were shopping at B. Black, Michael Levine, and Levine Brothers at the same time!Ah, downtown LA in the mid 80s...

Hi Glenda, I've just stumbled upon your blog and I love your style and your writing. I am a fashion blogger in Vienna and we have cold weather 70% of the time here. It is nice to look at photos which have been taken in sunny and warm places.

Thank you for commenting, and I'm happy you enjoy the blog! Californians are fortunate to have sunshine the greater portion of the year. We are spoiled. I'll come by to see your blog. Thanks for the introduction.

Hello Glenda, what a pleasure to be introduced to you blog from Whitney. Me being a blogger who's 50 .. I found it a pleasure to see the positive influence you possess at being over 20 is just as great! Will definitely be a follower.. And happy.. Peace to you and look forward to the connection.

Hello, Glenda. I must say you are very stylish. I also like your taste in loafers; the black/white Bass Weejuns studded loafers are the ones I like the most. I might send you an e-mail because I want to share a pair of these rare penny loafers I purchased and I want a lady like yourself to give an opinion on them. Hope to chat with you soon!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have always loved classic Weejun penny loafers. I remember owning a pair in high school. I have been slowly adding loafers to my shoe wardrobe, as I have a propensity to wear sandals...regardless of the weather.

Hello Glenda! WOW! Just by reading your "About the Creator" I found out we have so much in common that it's funny...real funny. I came across your blog while reading Midlife Boulevard and let me tell you, you are a true inspiration. Just what I needed as I feel "stuck" in so many areas of my life. I'm about to leave my 40's behind me and plunge into 50!!! and I'm taking your blog post for the ride. Be Well. Oh, and I look forward to reading your book.

Hi Sophia! Thank you for such lovely compliments. I'm also plunging into my 50s in just a couple of months. Funny thing, I feel no difference. No, I take that back - I feel better today then I did in my 30's and 20's. More in tune with myself, and peaceful. The book should be available before November. I hope you'll enjoy it and thank you for joining the So What to Twenty community. Be sure to verify your email.

Glenda, hello! I ran across an interview with you online which led me to this blog. I became an instant fan of yours and I hope this isn't inappropriate but your bohemian chic is the same style shared by my sexy, classic, dark skinned, 60 yo. mom. She runs marathons and is full of life an energy, always has been. She lives in South Florida, so your outfits are just the ticket! Now if I see something you're wearing, that I like and want to suggest or purchase for her, how do I go about locating the pieces I need? Are there links to find them, or should I just eyeball the,m and match them as best I can wherever I go? Thanks! Any input is appreciated. My mom is 5'4" and a size 2-4.

Hello Armando! How cool for you to take an interest in your mother's clothing choices. Yes, when possible, I do provide links, and they're always posted in the section of my post that reads - Outfit Details. However I do shop often from eBay, therefore what I'm wearing may not be available. I hope this helps.

Hi Glenda - I found you through Tamera Beardsley's blog. I'm just now going through your blog, from start to present and so far.....I dig it! I, too, live in So. Cal. and appreciate looking at clothing more to our weather. I love the NY and international styles of Ari Seth Cohen's ladies from Advance Style, unfortunately I cannot wear most of their styles in our year round warm climate, but I still love to dress up, even if it's to the grocery store. So glad I found you.

Hi Catherine! Welcome to So What to Twenty! Yes, I know Tamera, another fellow Californian. I understand what you mean about the styles from Advanced Style. They were incredible. I keep my looks more streamlined and minimal with touches of boho and Southwestern. I'm glad you're enjoying the blog!

Hi GlendaI found your blog via instagram. I love your style and that you have let your gray hair shine! I am doing a series next month on Ageless Style. I would love to have you participate. I will send you an email!!

Thank you for taking the time to comment, it really means a great deal for me to connect with my So What to Twenty friends. I hope you subscribed via email or by social media - I wouldn't want you to miss anything on our True Style journey. Stay True, Glenda
